Disc Storage & Management

Disc Handling

Disc Shape

• Use discs with

regular shapes. If you

use an irregular disc

(a disc with a special

shape), you can damage the player.

Holding discs

• Avoid touching the surface

of a disc where data has

been recorded.

Blu-ray Discs

• Do not leave a Blu-ray Disc in the player for

long periods of time. Remove the Blu-ray

Disc from the player and store it in its case.

• Be careful not to scratch or leave

fingerprints on the surface of the Blu-ray

Disc.

DVD-VIDEO, Audio CD (CD-DA)

• Wipe off dirt or contamination on the disc

with a soft cloth.

Disc Storage

Be careful not to damage the disc because

the data on these discs is highly vulnerable to

the environment.

• Do not keep under direct sunlight.

• Keep in a cool ventilated area.

• Store vertically.

• Keep in a clean, protective jacket.

• If you move your player suddenly from a

cold place to a warm place, condensation

may occur on the operating parts and lens

and cause abnormal disc playback. If this

occurs, unplug the player, wait for two

hours, and then connect the plug to the

power outlet. Then, insert the disc, and try

to play back again.

Handling Cautions

• Do not write on the printed side with a ball-

point pen or pencil.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or

antistatic sprays to clean discs. Also,

do not use volatile chemicals, such as

benzene or thinner.

• Do not apply labels or stickers to discs.

(Do not use discs fixed with exposed tape

adhesive or leftover peeled-off stickers.)

• Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.

• Do not use discs printed with label printers

available on the market.

• Do not load warped or cracked discs.

• Before connecting other components to this

player, be sure to turn them off.

• Do not move the player while it is playing a disc.

The disc can be scratched or damaged and the

player’s internal parts can be damaged.

• Do not put a flower vase filled with water or any

small metal objects on the player.

• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc slot.

• Do not place anything other than the disc in the

disc slot.

• Interference from exterior sources such as

lightening and static electricity can affect the

normal operation of this player. If this occurs,

turn the player off and on again with the POWER

button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC

power cord to the AC power outlet. The player

will operate normally.

• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the

player after use.

• Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC

outlet when you don’t intend to use the player for

long periods of time.

• To clean a disc, wipe it in a

straight line from the inside to the

outside of the disc.

• Do not expose the player to any

liquid.

• When the AC plug is connected to a wall outlet,

the player will still draw power (standby mode)

when it is turned off.

• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or

splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such

as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• The main plug is used as a disconnect device

and shall stay readily operable at any time.

• Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand.

Otherwise, it can cause an electric shock.

• Do not share one power socket with multiple

electric devices. Otherwise, it may cause an

overheat, resulting in a fire.

• If you encounter an abnormal noise, burning

smell or smoke, turn off the power switch

immediately and disconnect the power plug

from the wall outlet. Then, contact the nearest

customer center for technical assistance. If you

still use the product as it is, this may cause an

electric shock or fire.

Maintenance of Cabinet

Before you clean the Blu-ray Disc’s cabinet,

be sure to disconnect the AC power cord

from the AC outlet.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other

solvents for cleaning.

• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

Restrictions on Playback

• This player may not respond to all operating

commands because some Blu-ray Disc,

DVD, and CD discs allow specific or limited

operation and provide only certain features

during playback.

Please note that this is not a defect in the

player.

• Samsung cannot guarantee that this player

will play every disc bearing the Blu-ray

Disc, DVD or CD logo because disc

formats evolve, and problems and errors

may occur during the creation of Blu-ray

Disc, DVD, and CD software and/or the

manufacture of discs.

Please contact the SAMSUNG customer

care center if you have questions or

encounter difficulty in playing Blu-ray Disc,

DVD, or CD discs in this player. Also, refer
